recovery. Gentle cleansing of the eyes 
with the boric nr-id solution, in the case 
of those *o badly affected that they can¬ 
not sec, is about the only treatment that 
I can recommend, and those that show 
only a mild inflammation are perhaps as 
well let alone. They should have com¬ 
fortable and clean ijtmrters, where they 
will not be exposed to rains or drafts 
and where no irritating dust can arise to 
increase the inflammation. If you wish 
to use a more active remedy thau boric 
acid (one ounce to the quart of soft 
water), yon might try the nrgyrol solu¬ 
tion spoken of, putting one or two drops 
of a 15 per cent solution in each eye of 
the affected birds daily, after having first 
cleansed them with the boric acid solu¬ 
tion. Your druggist will prepare the 
nrgyrol solution for you. There may he 
some lack of vigor in the portion of your 
flock that shows this special susceptibility 
to the eye inflammation. m. h. d.

1. I do uot know that it makes any 
very real difference whether a moist mash 
is fed in the morning or at noon, though 
T think the general preference is for mid¬ 
day feeding. A full feeding of mash in 
the morning would tend to discourage 
great activity upon the purt. of the chicks, 
since they would start the day with full 
crops, and this would he objectionable. 
Hard grain feeding at night is preferable,

as is mash, and does not leave the bird’s
